SATURDAY EVENING DISPATCHES.
XXXVIth CONGRESS—1st SESSION.
WASHINGTON, December 17.
HOUSE. Mr. Larrabee. of Wis., tent to tbo
Clerk's table the Mllwaukle Free Democrat,
from whloh the latter read theprooesdings of
a meeting purporting to be held by the German
adopted oltitens, In which sympathy is ex
pressed for John Brown, holding him ss
noble-hearted and resolute, and fit to be held
up by the friends and champions of freedom
icr tne imitation or mankind) also savin;'
that adopted eltlsens are hostile to tyranny of
every kind. Mr. Larrabee remarked that if
any of his colleagues did not reoognlie that
paper as Republican, let them say so. At his
request an editorial was resd In the same pa
per, in spirit wttn the proceedings or tbo
meeting. He wae satisfied that an honorable
Senator from Wisconsin (Doollttle) was mis -taken
when he aatd that there was no newspa
per In that State whloh supported and sustained
John Brown's invasion of Virginia. Ho
thought, however, that at the time the fact to
whien ne had just referred had not been
brought to Mr. Doolittle's attention. Mr.
Larra bee needed not be informed, as he had
been by tbe leading German oitlsens of Wis-
oontln, that such were not their opinions. He
had been in the midst of them for fourteen
vears, and could say that a more intelligent,
loyal and patriotic set of men were not living
on the soil of the United States. Thsy wero
hostile to fanaticism, and to sentiments of die-
union and war. In the South. He felt it to bo
his duty to hurl baok accuaationa against that
part or Wisconsin he bad tbe boner to repre
sent. Hs was surprised to hear that gentle
men charged the present Administration with
corruption and extravagance. He thought
the President was entitled to all praise.
No man should visit his mere personal slight h
In his . party beeauae he might have been
omitted In the paltry distribution of Federal
orrises; we all agree that the Republican party
organisation at tne in or in ia a purely aectionsi
party, and that the inevitable result of the suc
cess of any. seotional party in the country
must ne a rupture or the union, ibis is tbe
very state of things wbloh Washington warned
us against In his Farewell Address a great
party built on geographical lines.
He thought Mr. Seward's remarks renneot-
lag the Irrepressible conflict, originated in hia
ambition to reach the' Presidential chair,
thinking an appeal, to seotional passions and
prejudices the best way to reach it.
. He never had any doubts but that the raid
x)f John Brown was the ' legitimate effect of
tne teaobings of tbe extreme section of the
itepubiioan party North; the teachings ot the
Tniutx, Wendell Phillips and others. Ho
had heretofore thought a dissolution of the
Union Impossible, but now ventured to say
that, If Northern men persist in their eourse,
and the South react against the North, the
dissolution may not be a question, but may
be here now, and the first act may produce
tbe calamity. Mr, Larrabee then reviewod
Mr. Seward's "irrepressible conflict" doctrine.
He never heard, on this floor or on the stump,
Republicans denouncing Abolition aentiments.
It appeared to him that the oonfliotwas not be
tween different kinds of labor, but botwoen
different races of men. He did not believe in
the unity of the .human race. If the slaves
were free, what could be done with them? The
forth dontwant them. . i : i .
A call of the House was then' ordered pre
liminary to' a vote for Speaker. The result
was as follows: Serman 111; Bocook 85; Bote
ler 23; scattering 9. Necessary to a choice, lift.
I Another ballot was taken, resulting as fol
lows: Sherman 110: Bocook 84; Boteler 1 5;
George Brlggs 9, remainder scattering. The
House the adjourned.

More About the Attempted Escape of
Cook and Coppie.
is
s
Harper's Frrrt, December 17. Various
surmises have been indulged in regarding the
attempted eacapeof Cook and Coppie. It was
said that Cook refused to tell how he came by
tbe kntre, and also that he bad the counter
sign whereby he would bare been enabled to
Sass the sentinel. This, however, needs eon
rmation, and is hardly reliable. Muoh in
dignation was expressed by some of the head
strong in reference to the officials of the jail,
but a large majority of our eitisens express
confidence in them, and spurn the Idea that
tbey were bribed by thefriends cf Cook. The
hole made In the wail was a large one, and the
room was in the second story. Cook, after his
capture, said to a gentleman that they had
done the best they could: that Ufa was as
sweet to them as any one else, and that thsy
had planned It for ten days. They had set
Tuesday night for the attempt, but it was de
ferred on account of their not wishing te com
promise Governor Willard, who was In town
that night. The prisoners conversed en' a
variety of subjects yesterday morning.
Cook said to a gentleman who addressed
him that he fully believed slavery to be a sin,
and that he believed it would be abolished in
Virginia In leas than ten years, and by the
people of Virginia. He was prepared to die
in such a cause, and thought he had done
nothing to regret, as far as principle was con
cerned. Coppie said that he feared the affair
was not ended yet, that they had friends in
the North who would not rest satisfied until
their lives were avenged. He hoped, how
ever, the affair would end here forever.

Democratic Caucus.
Washington, Deeember 17. A Democratic
caucus of the members of the House of Rep
resentatives was held last night at the Capitol,
Mr. Houston,- of Ala., occupying the chair,
and Cox. of Ohio, and Wright, or Tsnn., act
ing as Secretaries. Fifty-eight members were
present.
On motion of Mr. Ruffin, of N. 0., the
speeches were limited to five minutes,
Mr. Bocook, of Va., expressed his thanks
to the Democratic members for their oonfl -dense
in him, and his willingness to withdraw,
if the caucus thoaght another man could get a
larger vote.
Mr. Wlnslow, of N. C, spoke In favor of
adhering to the nomination of Mr. Booock.
He preferred by far an Anti-Leoomptlon men
to an American; -
Mr. Stevenson, of Ky., spoke In favor of tbs
Democrats maintaining their present position.
Mr. Cox, of Ohio, spoke to the same affect,
ne was unwilling te vote for any Know Noth
ing, or any man supported by them, unlet
that man be a Democrat; but he was willing,
at the proper time, to vote for an Antl-La-oompton
Democrat, when It could be shown
that he eould be elected.
Mr. Montgomery, of Penn., took a different
view, thinking that there might be a union
between national men, Americana and Demo
orats, so effected as to orush out sectionalism.
Hs thought it dangerous that Republicanism
should have tbe patronage of the Capitol..
Mr. Harris, of Vs., made an earnest appeal
to stand by Democratic principles and men.
He would not ask Northern Democrats te make
such a sacrifice as to vote for a Southern Amer-
loan.
Mr. Garnett Interrupted Harris by stating
that a member of the American party had in
formed him that he was as willing to vote for
Mr. Bocook as any other Democrat.
. Mr. Craig, of Mo., after some remark,
moved that a Committee of three be appointed
to confer with a minority of tbe House on tbo
subject of the organisation.
Mr. Burnett, of Ky., urged his view of tbe
matter, and opposed the motion. He inquire,!
who asked 14 confer with us, that we sliouM
bave such oommittee? Be should adhere U
Booock.
Mr. Henderson, of Ark., aald he never would
be trausfo.rred by a caucus to any one but u
Dcmoorat.
Mr. Dejarnett, of Va., explained why he,
to day, voted for Mr. Bololer. He thought bi
tted voted for Mr. Bocook as long as ther,
was any chance for him,
Mr. Clemeus, of Va., offered tbe following
resolution, wbioh was merely read for Informa
tion: '
Keeoked. Thai it Is our dutv to adhere to tbo
nomination heretofore made in caucus until
such time as it is demonstrable that some other
person can seoure the whole vote recorded,
and an additional vote sufficient to elect him,
and that then, and In that event the committee
heretofore appointed, are hereby authorised to
pall another meeting for the purpose of con
ferring together on tbe subject. ' '
fryer, or va., after some preliminary re
marks, moved the following sut a substitute for
Craig'i resolution: "That the members of thi.
conterence persist in tbe support or tne Deino
emtio nominee for Speaker, until his doolina-
tlon or a conference of the party shall deter
mine otherwiao."
Valladigham, of Ohio, concurred Iu what
Cochrane and Cox had said, as to the senti
ment of the North and West on the subject ot
an organisation. Pryor's ' proposition war
generally accepted without a vote, Mr. Craij,
and others, In spsechss, approving of it. Ad
journed. -
From Washington.
: Wasrisotox, December 17. The largely
Increased vote for Mr. Gilmer came from tbe
Anti-Leoompton Democratic and Pennsylva
nia Republicans elected on the People's tiokel.
It was intended to test the Democratic mem
bers who had thus the ability to elect a South
ern man as Speaker if they wished.
! Mr. Bccock' 88 votes added to Mr. (illuiorV
38, would have made 122, eight more tbaii
enough to elcot; but no Demoorat voted for
Mr. Gilmer, and be at once withdrew his
name. 4
On the next vote Mr. Sherman had one vote
more than ever before, but still lacked four of
an eleotion. The Republican members ar.'
sanguine of success. They still adhers to Mr.
Sherman Inflexibly.

that the Government has undertaken to ad

while six hundred miles from land, was visited
by a woodcock, and every morning until it
reached port, by hundreds of birds, including

a thrush, a hawk and an owl. v It is supposed
the birds were driven off the eoast by late
heavy North-west winds. When they reached
the vessel they were completely exhausted.
